How to Prevent Tyranny

The history of human government is one of murderous, tyrannical control by madmen in all times, in all places, and in all political systems. The fact that the United States has avoided this state for so long is an anomaly, and we should never allow ourselves to assume that “it could never happen here”. Power attracts the worst of society, as decent people have no desire to restrict the peaceful activities of others. As the United States continues to ignore Constitutional restrictions on the power of government, dangerous precedents are being set for the madmen of tomorrow. The time to put an end to tyranny is not after it exists; it’s before it ever appears.
